3-4-1 Defining the PROFINET IO network
54
Setting up a PROFINET IO Controller Unit to exchange parameters and I/O
data with the GRT1-PNT and the SmartSlice I/O System involves defining the
I/O configuration to the IO Controller Unit and setting parameters needed at
run-time. Refer to Appendix A PROFINET IO technology for more information
on PROFINET IO network commissioning.
For configuring the PROFINET IO network with the GRT1-PNT Units, it is
required to connect the Personal Computer directly to the ethernet network. It
will be able to:
• Configure the IO Device names directly on the network.
• Use the online functions of the GRT1-PNT DTM to access detailed
parameters.
SmartSlice I/O Unit
A direct ethernet connection of the Personal Computer to the PROFINET IO
network can also be used to connect to the PLC CPU through the IO
Controller. It can be used to configure and monitor the PLC and the
PROFINET IO Controller. Please note this is also possible using the other
communication interfaces (for instance Toolbus) of the PLC CPU.
This section discusses the methods of configuration.
Defining the PROFINET IO network in the CX-ConfiguratorFDT, starts with
defining the PROFINET IO Controller Unit and assigning the IO Devices to it.
Defining and assigning devices can be achieved using drag & drop from the
CX-ConfiguratorFDT Device Catalogue. Refer to the CS/CJ-series PROFINET
IO Controller Unit Operation Manual (W012E) for more information on how to
assemble a network. The figure below shows CX-ConfiguratorFDT with an
assembled network in the left window pane and the Device Catalogue opened
in the main window pane.
To define the I/O Configuration of the GRT1-PNT PROFINET IO
Communication Unit, double-click the device in the Network View. A separate
configuration window will pop up, which is described in the next section.
